Over the past three decades, the world has seen a rise in Japanese restaurants, and Cebu is no different. In celebration of International Sushi Day, here’s a list of five restaurants that are sure to soothe your sushi cravings.
Mizu
“Mizu” is a Japanese word for “water,” making it a fitting name for a restaurant located at Waterfront Cebu Hotel and Casino. Its head chef, Nobuyuki Imamura, strives to keep authentic Japanese cuisine at the forefront of Cebu’s culinary environment—and that includes sushi! Satisfy your sushi cravings with authentic cuisine at Mizu.
Nonki Japanese Restaurant

Fortuna St. Another Nonki branch is set to open at Nustar Resort and Casino at South Road Properties.
Sushi Boy
Sushi Boy classifies itself as a casual Japanese restaurant that is known for its amazing food quality and affordability. This restaurant has two branches: one in IT Park and another one along Ouano Avenue, next to Café Racer.
Tokyo Tokyo
Mostly known for its bento meals, Tokyo Tokyo is another Japanese restaurant that also offers great sushi rolls with its bento boxes. Its California maki is delicious with a base of seaweed, kani and mangoes, which makes it a perfect choice for the finicky sushi eaters out there.

Don’t you “miss” a Filipino twist on a Japanese classic?
